"CRS!" was released in 1983 as a 'concept album' about DDV's military service, which lasted just 9 days, from 8 till 16 dec 1982.

At the time military service in Belgium was obligatory and usually lasted 10 months. At the Centre for Recruitment and Selection at the "Klein Kasteeltje" in Brussels, candidates were tested for their capacities and medical and psychological condition.
On 8 dec 1982 at 08.18hrs DDV marched into the CRS, dressed in a military outfit, crew cut and his weight trimmed down to 47kgs. After fulfilling the necessary procedures and enrollment in the Belgian army preliminary tests started. At the first confrontation with options for the kind of duty to fulfill DDV insisted on an enrollment as fighter pilot. Instead he was sent to the Military Hospital of Neder-over-Heembeek for psychological testing and observation. After an admission of 8 days, the chief psychiatrist declared him unfit for military service, his final decision based on viewing DDV's "Performan" catalogue of performances between 1979 and 1982. On 18 january 1983 a re-examination commission declared recruit 83/14364 with id 154-200959-63 exempt and permanently unfit for military service.

The tracks on "CRS!" are based on field recordings with concealed microphones at the Centre for Recruitment in Brussels, the Military Hospital in Neder-over-Heembeek and a rally by the "Vlaamse Militanten Orde" in Kortrijk (recorded by F. Pinckers). Additional found footage originates from audio cassettes and videotapes found in garbage cans at militaria junk markets.
The original package included a poster with images and pictures and various paraphernalia, including a box of shoe polish. We couldn't find an original poster anymore, so the track titles are just a wild guess of what they could have been.
